Cant repply to discussions

When I try to repply a message I got the following error:
"An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again."
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

I saw a similar issue just after the cutover. The same thing happened on both IE 10 and Firefox. I may have fixed it by deleting all stored IE content (history and cookies) and rebooting the Windows 7 laptop. Before that I tried without effect restoring the IE settings and web searches.
Someone posted that OTN was having growing pains during the first week (problem was with OTN, not my browsers) which is possible but I am having trouble accepting that the same issue existed for 2 days and magically went away after I did something to try to fix it due to something else entirely. On the other hand why deleting IE history and cookies would fix the problem of Firefox does not make sense to me either unless a bad cookie was giving both browsers a stomach ache.

You'd be better off asking this question in the Bootcamp forum, as the people there will have actual experience doing this.
That said, XP SP2 should work fine, and yes, you do need to acquire a copy of Windows to install on your new Mac.

IMac DV slot-loading power button glows orange after shutdown, cant start

Hi,
I have iMac DV SE (graphite model) of 1999, 320MB RAM, 40 GB HD, running Mac OS X 10.4.7.
Everything seems to work fine, but when I go to Shutdown, it shuts down fine and power light goes off...Then several minutes later, the power button turns orange and stays like that for a few hours and then goes off again.... Then several hours later or the next day, I have a hard time getting it to turn on again by hitting the power button.. the keyboard (old iMac keyboard) power button never works to turn on the iMac (should it?) but when I hit it while in Mac OS X, it shows me the menu to shutdown, restart, sleep, etc...
Also, by PRAM battery seems good (I measured it at 3.6 V) and it seems to keep track of the date and time just fine, so I cant imagine it's the battery....
So in the past when this happens, it just keep hitting the power button and/or remove the power cord and re-insert, etc, and some combination of that after many tries the iMac finally starts up...
Any idea what's going on? I cant find any discussion of the power button going orange after a shutdown and the fact that my keyboard power button doesnt work to turn on the Mac...
Help...
Andrew

Ah.. very interesting... I'm surprised I couldnt find any info on the 'net about this orange power light...
Anyways, I found have some interesting stuff since...
1. On this last occasion when it didnt turn on, I was jiggling some stuff (plugging and unplugging the power cord several times.... then I tilted the iMac slightly and let it "drop" to jostle/jiggle it)... and after the slight "drop," I hit the power button and it turned on just fine... d'oh... I wonder if something's just "loose" somehow... I dont have a random shutdown problem, once it's turned on and inside Mac OS X, it works fine for hours and hours until I tell it to shutdown. hehehe...
2. Just last night, before going to bed, I shut it down and since it's plugged into a power surge, I turned the power OFF to the power surge, so now it doesnt have any power to it... so this morning, I turned power to the power surge, and hit the power button on the Mac and it turned on just fine! d'oh again.. hehe... so it almost leads me to believe somehow that leaving the power cord with electricity flowing to the Mac when the Mac is shutdown is "hurting" it somehow, and if there is no power connected when it's shutdown, it works normally (I think)...
Very strange indeed...
Anyways, I got this Mac second hand so I am wondering if this was a problem for the original owner... when I first got it , I knew the hard drive was missing, so I put a 40GB IDE hard drive from a PC and formatted it, etc... so not sure if the hard drive could cause a boot issue...
Oh, well, I guess I'll keep using this iMac until it no longer turns on.. lets see how long I can keep going like this ..heheh..

Elements 8 to 11 and Bridge

I've taken the plunge and upgraded from Elements 8 to 11. With PSE8 I have been using Bridge for organising images as I am on a mac. I cant find any discussion about importing photos from Bridge into the new organiser. Only option when I start the Organiser is to import from files and folders. Does that mean I'm going to lose all my keywords, star ratings etc?

The metadata added in bridge is contained in the files (or an XMP sidecar for raw files)and should be picked up by Organizer.
Use the Organizer menu:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
Navigate to your root folder e.g. Pictures or My Pictures and select all sub-folders.
Click Open or Get Media
Select all suggested keywords and click OK.
You could start by selecting a single folder as a test, to confirm it works.

ALSB 3.0 - Form of URL to obtain Proxy Service WSDL changed?

A quick 'technical' question that seems too dumb to raise as a support call, but cant find any discussion or details in docs, release notes etc.
There might be some subtle default which has changed or I've done some thing different and I just can't find it - likely:).
QUESTION: Has the way in which the WSDL is requested from a (Proxy) Web Service changed.
IN ALSB 2.6 and earlier:
http://localhost:7501/service/EchoStringService?WSDL
would return WSDL
IN ALSB 3.0
the same (or similar form after recreating the above service in ALSB 3.0 ) returns:
Error 405--Method Not Allowed
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.6 405 Method Not Allowed
The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Jim Nicolson

Sorry, found the answer but forgot to update this thread.
The ?WSDL mechanism fails if Enforce WS-I Interoperability is true for the Proxy Service.
While BEA support (and the docs relating to this flag) say this is by design (Only POST not GET is supported by WS-I) personally it seems to me that this rule should apply to operation invocation not a metadata inquiry but there you go...

I cant copy and paste to my schools discussion post

I receive a note that this featured is disabled

I cant either copy and paste..anything. No note that there is anything wrong. If i want to copy-paste anything, have to go and do it in IE..
Think ill give up on this browser, even if IE is slower and not so good in games etc, i can do my work with it, transfer photos that this one does not let me do.
Is your copy-paste texts grey and not responding to any commands..?

HT1338 Why cant i find any support discussing how to switch 32 bit to 64?

I click on "about this mac" and im told that it will display what bit mode i am in, but it doesn't. I saw a youtube video that said to switch from 32 bit to 64 bit you simply press and hold the 6 followed by the 4 during boot up and that switches it. I tried that and my screen sat endlessly on a blue screen for as long as i held the 6 and 4 keys down.
Can anyone tell why it is so stupidly difficult to find info on this subject? Even typing into the help on my imac "64 bit" comes up with nothing. Like, seriously?
I've just installed mountain lion because i want to purchase Logic Pro X, which will only run in 64 bit mode, but i can't even see what bit mode my system is currently running in.......

As you have OS X Mountain Lion, your Mac is running in 64-bit mode, and your iMac has got a 64-bit processor, so you won't have any problem with Logic Pro X.
Since the Lion release, all Macs run by default in 64-bit mode. With Snow Leopard, this was different, because only the Mac Pro and some new Macs were running in 64-bit mode

I am not able to update iTunes keeps popping up message saying no free disk space I checked and there is enough to support the upgrade but I cant figure out why it wont let me. Help anyone!

So heres the deal, I updated my iphone and in order to put any music on it or even ringtones I have to have the most updated version of iTunes, unfortunately my macbook wont allow the update, I do have a lot of pictures and song stored on here but I have no documents I have deleted everything the only thing left on here is what the macbook came with. I checked and it says that I have enough memory so is there another reason I cant update. When I try and check for the update option in iTunes it says its up to date but I have version 10 something so I know its old, I haven't been able to update anything on here. Do I have to take it to the store or is there something that I can fix on my own because my warranty is up and I have nothing but problems when I go into an actual apple store.

If you want to try to clear even more disk space see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0

Comment From GedGed:
my wired infinity speed is 54 kps but I can only get 20 when wireless - any way I can improve the wireless speed - Thanks
7:04
KerryG:
We're typing up the answers, so bear with us as we get the answers through to you...
7:05
Charles:
Hi Ged
• Upgrade your computer to ‘N’ standard wireless hardware. If needed, buy a suitable N wireless adaptor from BT atwww.bt.com/nwireless
• Keep your computer streamlined eg. by running our ‘PC Healthcheck’ app (part of BT’s Desktop Help software atwww.bt.com/desktophelp)
• Reserve wireless for mobile devices, use Ethernet for main computer
• Consider powerline adaptors for longer ranges

Comment From Neil Potter
How soon after an exchange goes live with Infinity will BT allow other providers to sell Fibre To The Cabinet services from that exchange? My existing ISP is waiting to announce pricing details to me so I can make an informed choice. Thanks
7:08
KerryG:
Hi John Good to see you on the chat - who else is here?

Hello world.

Comment From Helen
hi all.
7:11
Comment From Paul
Are we able to get fastpath on BT infinity,or will this ever be available ?
7:12
Martin S.:
i Neil. When Openreach enables an exchange for fibre, all internet service providers are able to use that service equally - so other ISPs should be able to offer their fibre products at the same time as BT Retail's Infinity product
7:12
KerryG:
Thanks for all the great questions coming through guys... answers being typed as we speak!
7:13
Charles:
Hi Paul, We don't support Fastpath on BT infinity at the moment, I'm afraid.
7:13
Comment From Helen
I've recently upgraded to Infinity 2. The ethernet connection is fine, but the wifi is constantly dropping. I have an old Homehub 2 , which we had for total broadband, will it work, so I can test the wifi.
7:14
Comment From Simon
Hi all
7:15
Martin S.:
Neil - also its worth remembering that when an exchange is enabled for fibre, this does not automatically mean that all cabinets and lines connected to that exchange are also enabled, which might explain if your exchange has been enabled but your line is not appearing as eligible yet
7:16
Comment From Kevin
Whats the upgrade path from fttc to fttp does it mean a new contract or can we just expect it to migrate?
7:17
KerryG
Out of interest...are those on the chat existing Infinity customers or people thinking about it?
7:18
Charles
Hi Helen, your wireless should work ok on your Hub 2, though our more recent Hub 3 is better. If you're expereincing drop outs, it's usually a sign of radio interference. Have you any powerline adaptors you could use instead?
7:18
Comment From Neil Potter
Thanks Martin - Workmen recently dug up the path outside my driveway to install FTTC so I know it's there  My exchange goes live on 30th June - I can't wait!I have another question: I'm in the process of consolidating my TV, Telephone and Broadband into one bundle. The "BT Vision Unlimited" looks ideal.
7:19
Comment From Paul
Is there a estimated date that fast path will be available ?
7:19
Martin S.
Hi Kevin - Due to the structure of how fibre has been deployed, your line will either be FTTC or FTTP; there is no way to change your technology type. If you mean 'how do you move to the faster 80mb product (on FTTC)?', this can be done using the links on BT.com
7:19
Comment From Helen
I'm an existing customer.

Charles
No, 'fraid not, Paul.

Comment From Chris
I've recently ordered my Infinity package, installation is due the 22nd.
7:20
KerryG
Great to see you all on here... roll on the 22nd for you Chris
7:20
Comment From Kevin
Why are you fitting 2 separate items a modem and a wireless router? cant we have a combined unit, without the need for 2 adaptors and sockets its not the tidiest install
7:21
Comment From Chris
Regarding the Infinity installation, is it mandatory for the BT O/R Engineerer to have access to your PC?
7:22
Martin S.
Hi Chris - It is not mandatory, but we recommend allowing the engineer to show you on your own equipment your fantastic new speeds!
7:22
Comment From Simon
hi, im trying to setup port forwarding to my old draytek, as it has more powerful wirelelss capabaility then the bt homehub, is it possible
7:23
KerryG
Hi Simon - that sounds like a great question for the forum boards, the Draytek is not a BT product so we can go into detail here in this chat, but there will be lots of people who i'm sure can help in the forum.
7:24
Charles
Evening Kevin, for BT Infinity is based on thecurrent FTTC product offered by BT Openreach, which comprises the VDSL modem provided by Openreach and the Home Hub 3 provided by Retail. If/when Openreach move to supporting a single box solution, then we would look to moving to that. Openreach will shortly be trialling this.
7:24
Comment From Helen
I've already checked there's nothing interfering with the Hub.
7:24
Comment From Helen
I don't have a Hub3, both the one that is currently connected, and the old one I have in the box are Hub 2.
7:25
Comment From Chris
Yes, going from 3mb to an estimated 50mb+ is quite the upgrade, I would even be happy if it was merely a 10MB upgrade. - If I remember correctly FTTC is around(if not the same) price as standard broadband these days.
7:26
Charles
Helen - could you post your issue in the Bt Infinity forum and one of our mods will look into this for you.
7:26
Comment From Kevin
My install is planned for the 28th May my question is i have my master socket downstairs directly below the room i want my fttc modem installed is it possible to have the modem upstairs with the extension cable ?
7:27
Comment From Mike B
I have an istalation question. I understand that the modem for Infinity needs to be sited close to the BT phone socket. Am I right in thinking that the modem is then connected via a Cat 5/6 cable to the wireless router situated elsewhere in the house? Does this impact on the speed?
7:27
Comment From Helen
Ok charles, I will do..
7:28
Comment From Neil Potter
On the subject of Powerline Adaptors (PA's) - I have a unique setup here at home whereby I would need to utilise 4 x PA's. Are there any known performance issues sharing data, experiencing latency or dropped packets from Desktop PC's all connected via PA's at the same time?
7:28
Martin S.
Kevin / Mike B: The engineer can use an extension cable up to 30m long to help position your equipment where you want it - this should not affect your speed.
7:29
Comment From Eric Simpson
I have bt broadband .. I am currently getting 3M download. I have two "estimates" from the BT site. One says I should get between 10-17 ... the other which does some sort of check/diagnostic (and appears to be the real thing) says I should get between 1-4. We are meant to get Infinity next month. How would that impact me?
7:31
Charles
Hi neil - good question. I've found from experience that powerline performance is very much dependent on the adaptor manufacturer and your home environment, specifically how 'clean' your electrical spectrun is. All I can say is give it a try. That said, i would always recommend an Ethernet connection for the fastest and most stable speeds.
7:31
Martin S.
Hi Eric. You can find your predicted BT Infinity speed (if it is available on your line) at bt.com/infinity and entering your number into the availability checker
7:31
Comment From Simon
hi, really I'm just asking a tech question - can the bt home hub port forward?
7:32
Comment From Eric Simpson
Does my question pop up only when it comes up the queue?
7:33
KerryG
Hi Eric - Yes, they will flow in as they get answered - it helps to make the chat easier to read as the Q & As flow in a reasonable order.
Great questions coming through... lots more to get through...been a quick 33 mins!
7:33
Charles
Hi simon - I'm assuming you're talking about the Hub 3 (our latest Hub). Yes, it does support port forwarding. You can set this up via the configuration menu in your Hub. See instructions in your Hub user guide for how to do this.
7:33
Comment From Glynn
Will BT Retail be selling fibre-on-demand at an affordable cost for home users?
7:35
Comment From guilbo
Hello folks. I have a question. We often see on the Vision forum that users start having problems with their service on Infinity that they weren't having with ADSL. Do you know of anything that would cause this?
7:35
Martin S.
Hi Glynn, we are currently reviewing Fibre on Demand and have not yet announced any pricing or availability details.
7:36
Comment From Chris
How reliable is that checker by chance?
7:37
Comment From Paul (Heanor)
Also I am booked for installation on 22nd May
7:37
KerryG
Nice one Paul  You'll be enjoying super fast speeds then too
7:38
Charles
HI guilbo - I'm not aware of any technical issues for Vision customer regrading to Infinity. We have hundreds of orders go through each week. If the problem persists, I would suggest customers contact the Infinity helpdesk.
7:38
Comment From Neil Potter
Thanks for your reply Charles - If I could ask, the PA's you supply with the current BT Vision boxes are manufactured by Simpler Networks - would I need to purchase identical PA's from the same manufacturer for extending my network? Will BT Retail sell me these as an additional extra? This will be my last question - I feel I have been fortunate to have two answered already
7:39
Martin S.
Hi Chris - The speeds estimated in the checker are a very good indication of actual speeds, but we can only know the exact speed once installed.
7:39
Comment From Eric Simpson
it says not available yet. I am just frustrated because I get faster speed from my little Android phone using it as a hotspot. If there is a bottleneck somewhere in the system, would fibre really make a difference
7:41
Comment From Kevin
I have been given the estimate of 59.4Mb download 20.0Mb upload will this be accurate?
7:42
Charles
Hi neil - yes you should always stick to the same model for all your PA's. I am pretty sure that additional Vision PA's can be bought from the BT Shop, and these should be fine. I have had 70mbps out of mine! seewww.bt.com/shop
7:43
Martin S.
Eric - Generally fibre can make a very significant difference to overall speeds, though individual increases can't be guaranteed. If / when it becomes available on your line, the checker will tell you how much of a difference it could make to you.
7:43
Comment From Chris
I'm assuming it's based on the length of copper from my house to the Green Cab. - The exchange is 2miles~ away from me and the said Cab. Will this also effect my speed?
7:45
Charles
Hi Kevin - our estinmates are as accurate as we can make them, but your actual speed will depend on your underlying phone line speed. We will only know your true speed once Infinity is live - it will then train to your optimal line speed, which should be approx as shown by your prediction.
7:45
KerryG
Glad to see you all keeping Charles and Martin busy here... keep the questions coming in, we're in the last 15 mins now...
7:45
Martin S.
Chris - Yes, your speed is primarily affected by the total amount of copper between you and the exchange. With FTTC fibre products, the old copper between the exchange and the cabinet is replaced by fibre, meaning less copper overall and faster speeds.
7:45
Comment From Lewis
Why does DLM take so long to take interleaving off?
7:45
Comment From Neil Potter
Thank you very much for your time this evening Charles / Martin / Kerry. It's nice to see these types of events becoming more accessible to your customers and I for one feel I've got a lot from joining you all this evening
7:46
Martin S.
Thanks Neil - you're welcome!
7:46
KerryG
Great stuff Neil.... glad you've found it useful.
7:46
Comment From Chris
The Cab is 500-600 metres away from me, and according this graph the the BT estimated speed is just right on that.
7:47
Charles
Hi Lewis - DLM will apply interleaving only if it detects an ustable line. It will not apply interleaving unless it is warranted.
7:47
Comment From Kevin
I guess when i get my infinity installed a lot of sites and links will still be on dsl or adsl+ or even slower and the speed my end wont improve the speed there end ie my speed will depend on the site i visit and there upload speed for my download speed?
7:48
Comment From Dom
I am moving to BT infinity, but I had to order my line and then wait for it to be activated before ordering infinity. Is this a technical issue or a process at BT issue?
7:49
Charles
Evening Dom. It's a process issue - we can only provide Infinity once a Retail line is up and running.
7:49
Comment From William Sinclair
Hi guys. I've upgraded to Infinity 2 with an estimated max download of 49.5 Mbps however my IP profile hasn't budged from the Infinity 1 value of ~30. Any thoughts?
7:50
Comment From Dom
Thanks - this is a great service BT, keep it up!
7:51
Martin S.
Hi Kevin - yes, some websites that you visit may not be able to keep up with your superfast speeds! We aim to give you the best speeds at your end, but sadly there may sometimes be bottlenecks in the wider internet.
7:51
Charles
HI William - sorry for the delay in responding. Best thing to do is to reboot your Hub, then it should pick up the new speed. If not, contact the Infinity forum.
7:51
Comment From Lewis
What would cause an unstable line?
7:53
KerryG
@wiesiek @ Martin (not S) thanks for your questions, but as they're individual issues we can't pick them up as part of this chat. Please post in the forum and we can help.
7:53
Comment From guilbo
Apologies in advance for my ignorance. If Infinity is installed does the 'phone continue to use copper all the way to the exchange or does this also go over fibre?
7:54
Charles
Hi lewis - the most common cause is interference on your phone line, in which case DLM will moderate your BB speed until the line stablises. There'smore lot of info on this at the Infinity FAQs on BT.com
7:54
Martin S.
Hi Guilbo - good question - yes, the phone still uses the copper.
7:54
Comment From Paul (Heanor)
Will downloading from such as Xbox market place or apple store as examples max out the connection?
7:55
Comment From Kevin
Thanks to Martin, Kerry, and Charles for all your answers to the questions very much appreciated and a credit to BT Kevin
7:55

Hi everyone
Just a reminder that we have our Infinity Expert chat this evening at 7pm. If for any reason you can't make the chat, you can PM me your questions in advance and we'll try to include them. There will also be a replay available of the chat here on the same post after the event.
Thx

My introduction and a hardware discussion.

Hello Adobe forums.
Its nice to meet you all. This is going to be a heavy first post, hopefully it will bloom into a great discussion.
I have been reading and learning and just wracking my brain around all the great info here for building a NLE system.
For starters let me introduce my self, I am Erik, and I have been a long ago user of Premier. In fact I was in undergrad when i made my first cut and ripple delete. that was 1999 and I think there wasnt even premier pro, my memory recalls premier 7 or something, then a year into college it changed to PP. I might have that all mixed up too.
So anywho, cut on adobe all thru undergrad and then went to grad school and learned the Avid system. I have no hang ups about either system, in my experience a cut is a cut and a dissolve is a dissolve no matter what system makes it.
I am now released from grad school and am out on my own again, in my life I will never be able to afford an avid system like our school had, with a nitrous, composers in the big lab and a huge audio booth with avid something for multi track mastering. I want to touch back to my roots there for I have chosen to return to adobe, in the flavor of production premium.
I am excited to see what's different and also about being able to work with out rendering, I remember the days when in order to see anything i had to first render, make a tiny change then render again, you all know this cycle too well i am sure.
I am a simple one thing at a time guy, independent, I dont unless specifically asked edit for clients. I write my shorts and full lengths, shoot them, edit them and play on the festival circuit.
So that is my intention for my NLE system.
I will say I am exceedingly happy with a lot of the info on this forum. In school sadly we are only taught the artisan side of editing and those areas, the digital science end is left to our own exploration. since starting my research I went from the basic concept of data rate of the camera and how big a memory card I need, to the more important how fast the memory card can write. Also applying this knowledge to the concepts in the computer for the NLE, so a big thanks to the guys I see adding valuable info such as, Harm, ADK boys, Videoguys and other members with great input. Thank to you all.
After all that lets talk about the prospected build.
CPU: 3960, socket 2011. I was satisfied with a lga 1155 but you all convinced me i can have a longer living machine with room for improvements over the next few years.
MBO: ASUS X79 sabertooth.
Ram: Gskill ripjaws Z 1600 64gig pack.
GPU: asus gtx 680 4gb ddr5
ASUS dvd bruner/ drive sata
Cooler Master 1200w silent pro gold
Case: Cooler Master haf 932 advanced
Cooling: Cooler Master Seidon Liquid cooler. I wanted air cooling but in order to allow room for the ram this was the best solution.
SSD1: OS and programs, Intel 335 series 240gb, I know many will say thats larger than i need, but it works for me.
SSD2: Render and export, Intel 335 series 240gb
Hdd1: Projects, 1tb wd black caviar 7200rpm sata 3.0 32mb cache
hdd2: Cache "same as above"
hdd3: Media"ditto"
Now as I explore the MB more and more I have learned that there is an extra 2 sata 6 on the MB. AS learned from Harm in another post those 2 extra satas are on the maverick which shares with the gpu, however this MB does not suffer a performance loss of the gpu if i was to use those two slots for later drive expansion. Again for later when money allows.
Now lets discuss my personal work flow.
I shoot nikon d800, with a Pix 220 external recorder. I use DNxHD codec at 220Mbs @8 bitdepth.
My editing style is one thing at a time. I am a simple man, when i cut, i cut. I don't have the multitasking ability to cut one project while doing effects in AE and render in the background. Just too much for me to do at once.
I am a patient man, and like i said above I dont have clients so when I render/export I usually just walk away or go eat/sleep whatever. My time is my own so my deadlines are for festival entries. Of course I want as quick as possible, who would turn down speed?
Going back to one thing at a time, this is where i became strange from my fellow students, when I am finished with a project I am done. I dont go back and tweak like many of my former colleagues. When I make the export, bar any major problems, the video file is placed on a back up external hdd and a disc, then the work computer is formatted and ready for the next project.
Me thinks that covers all aspects of my workflow, if there is anything more specific you need to know please ask.
My questions for discussion.
first and foremost, look over the parts and please point out any things you see as funky, missing or things that will have issues that you learned from your experience.
I know you will all suggest a raid0 some where. For this point in time I would like to stick to single drives with single tasks to keep them from reading and writing at the same time or at least to a minimum. I like to have stability of my data, but I also understand that perhaps there is a speed requirement for my codec to play back smoothly. So if I must, I am open to raid0 in the future when i can afford a stable backup of all the stuff.
Leading to my next question. Of a few posts out there in adobe forums, the general idea is a hdd can playback pretty heavy duty video if the hdd is purposed for video only. I am using 220Mbs would the WD CB be able to handle that if dedicated?
please look at the intended use for my drives, I am only copying what i have seen as advice on the forums, but would like some input as to the how and why you would make one drive as the cache, media and projects drives. any other suggestions for what would be a better use of single drives?
i need your help to educate me in some things i couldn't find on my own. Several times i see members talk about streams, is a stream meaning playing the timeline in multiple monitors? or is it also refering to multiple video tracks. video 1,2,3,4, playing at once?
Are filters considered streams? since i shoot dslr i have to automatically use 3 filters off the bat, rolling shutter remove, color, and a touch of sharpness. sorry for the basic info like i said i was taught the artisan side of editing first.
I am very used to taking my footage from the camera storing it, then importing and transcoding in the Avid to a low low bit rate to make the editing smooooth. A bit rate of 36Mb or so, then after picture lock, connecting with my orginal media for the color correction post effects and export.
since it has been sooo long and I have learned so much, I would assume that PP allows for this type of online off line editing style, does it?
Personally I would rather not have to transcode and edit natively, which as I can see, is what adobe is selling since cs5
I think thats a great place to stop. You guys dont need to write me a text book for an answer, like i did above, please point to links and I will read. If you fingers really want to type away and I will read it too.
Thank You all for your time and input.

Well, I don't like to make a thread and then just leave it unfinished.
The beast is built, runs cool, looks cool and in my experience is blazing fast even at stock speeds.
I have not begun to overclock yet as I dont fully understand how and I am researching the how tos and theory behind it. I dont want to go changing voltages and cook everything. Ill get there though, one day.
No major build issues, in factthis is the first machine I have built in 13 years, and back then usb 2.0 just came out and the standard device connect was IDE ribbon, plus a 200gb hard drive was THEE monster, for the public that is.
For those of you out there looking at this forum and nervous about assembling your first PC, I say to you, do you research, take you time and make sure all parts will work in balance with your intended use and then assemble.
Other than childbirth, the simultaneous feelings of terror and excitement are something you must experience, its the ultimate high.
I have waded thru some issues and a learning curve in the UEFI bios these days. Like I said above, last time i built a computer there was no bios, I used to have to put the jumpers in the right place. I kinda miss that, but dont get me wrong, on screen bios, woof, i love it.
I would like to discuss some things with you guys as there are some oddities I want to root out.
First, I noticed that running asus utilities, such as, gpu tweak, ai suite ii, conflicts with adobe software.
How? it slows it down a bit here and there, and it seems to cause some crash, force quit not bsod, when closing adobe programs. what happens and how i know a crash is coming is when closing PR, the second monitor will stay full screen on the last image and not move. If i dont hit the windows button or alt tab to another program it will sit there for hours, after the tab or windows key then windows says it stopped responding and to force it to close.
any one else having similar issues? or any recommendations as to some setting in windows/bios/adobe that i may have over looked.
This only happens to me when i have ai suite and gpu tweak open. all other times with out those programs running adobe is smooth as glass.
the other weird thing I have noticed on several forums is the Asus utilities programs are buggy. I was experiencing incredibly loooong lag after boot up when having the ai suite ii on the active services list. it was strange, boot into windows was fine but it seems like the suite either has in incredible amount of files to open or it just conflicts with windows.
here is the exact scenario, windows welcomes you with the sound, you wait a second to react, no hour glass, open the win tab and select either computer, or resource manager, when your me and trying to see what is making the system work so hard and long, the tab sits there for 1min doing nothing, then drops a bit leaving the graphic glitches and sits there longer. finally your window pops up and then everything is hunkey dorey till your next restart.
after disabling anything asus in the services tab i have not had this issue for a week now.
do you guys with asus MBO use their software? or do you guys just skip it all together? and have you experienced these bugs?
one thing about this long lag issue that looms in the back of my mind (even with it hopefully solved) is i never had this type of lag while on the OS ssd. After I plugged in the other 6 drives the next boot was absolutely awful. It took me 30mins to format each one, due to i couldn't control the mouse for more than second and then it would register my movement and shoot me across the screen so i had to baby step it back to the drive format window.
After getting all the hdds formatted it made the lag intermittent like stated above.
all drivers are current, ssds are on latest firmware. I had a fight with the marvell though, it would always register my two drives on it as unpluggable devices and i could actually click safely remove them and the would disappear. but after reading and researching i got it all setup right. I mention this because it bothers me in the back of my mind even though the issue appears to be solved from the drive end and the asus software end.
share with me if any of you have had this type of experience on your build and what you did to overcome it incase i missed a step in bios or in windows setup.
to clarify further:
I run ahci mode on intel and marvell. not a raid man.
the ports are filled as such.
intel sata 6 has my os/programs ssd and the render/export ssd.
the asus dvd burner is on a intel sata 3
the other 3 intels are just wd black hdd
the marvel has 2 additional wd hdd.
like i said the massive lag cam after i plugged all that in, formatting made it intermittent and removing asus software seems to have solved it. just looking for experiences and any missed steps.
second wierd thing is, and perhaps this is why you guys call it QUIRKtime. I can not export dnxhd quiktime format to my render/export drive. It is a intel 335 ssd with latest firmware, (sorry Harm, the specs were great and the price was too) i have all permissions on the drive, but every time i try to export to it in that format i get the export faild can not create source file. All other formats work with out a hitch, just dnxhd quicktime at any resolution.
and lastly, i must be an idiot but i cant seem to get PR to render my audio effects, or that there just not big enough to place them on the drive. its odd, PR is set to have audio previews on its own HDD, and PR creates the folder for renders/previews but never puts anything into them.
Also when i click render audio, its instant playback, faster than i can hit home and l. I have tried to make the files complex with many many filters and effects on audio but no dice.
exported time lines, and sending projects to SG, AE, audition everything works just fine, but its like i will fill up my audio previews HDD with nothing but empty folders. anyone had this issue before? I have settings set to render audio at the same time as video.
those are the only bugs as of now to report. this sytem like i said at stock speed is blindingly fast for me and my work flow, I see a loooong life for this computer.
thank you for reading and thank you all for your input on my little issues, it will save my hair.
Erik.

Cant get chooser to find my network printer!

I was wondering if someone can help me..
I've tried everything on my OS 9 G4, but cant seem to get the Chooser window to select my HP PSC 1210 printer. It shows it in the left window but is greyed out. My ethernet is working perfectly. I have the printer hooked up to my OSX MacBookPro and that goes to my D-link DI 624 router and another Ethernet cable goes to my OS 9.2.1 G4 quicksliver. A printer icon is placed on my desktop but it cant find the network.
I'm stuck ANny help would be greatly appreciated.!!
Thanks / Alexis
